Road deteriorated forcing vehicles in path of each other
27th May
Road surface has deteriorated from Gearys Wood down to the junction of the Vale road and continues to worsen. Forcing vehicles into each other this is increased in severity as popular commuter route with cyclist to and from Chesham where they are forced into oncoming vehicles.
This is further compounded in wet weather as debris are forced along the road to the junction at the Vale road exasperating deterioration.
This location is exhibiting unsafe conditions that pose a risk to public users. Under Section 41 of the Highways Act 1980, the authority has a legal duty to maintain the highway in a safe condition. This includes carrying out timely repairs, or setting an inspection schedule on this concern.
Where hazards are identified if maintenance is not imminent adequate warning signs to alert road users should be made visible including during night or other impeded driving conditions all of these form part of the statutory duty of care.
This report also serves as formal notification to the authority, ensuring that Section 58 of the Act cannot be later relied upon as a defence for non-repair, delayed action, or substandard fixes that result in increased risk to the public and unnecessary cost to the taxpayer.

Failed road now in 4th year not being dealt with!
20th May
This road has been reported multiple times - highways have agreed its failed (they have put signs up to say its failed) other roads in far better condition locally have been fixed (local road between St Leonards church and caravan park as an eg) yet this bit is consistently ignored, WHY? clear to all residents that it is a total disgrace that it has not been fixed for 4 years now! we have seen a bike accident, we have lost a wing mirror as a result of drivers trying to avoid the holes and stones. An explanation of exactly why it is not being repaired is now long over due. Better still fix my street!

Chesham Rd
from jn with Vale Rd for about 300m
This road is slowly falling apart still. I reported this by telephone MANY years ago (pre-pandemic), to be told the council were aware that it needed doing desperately but that funds were not currently available. 6+ years later and nothing has been done, and to be now told it is not bad enough to warrant repair is frankly a ridiculous statement.

Between Hog Lane and the junction with Vale Rd.
4th May
There are quite a few drains along this section of road, ALL of them are filled with grit/debris, so they are not doing the job intended. This will only exacerbate any flooding issue along the Vale.

From the junction
the road towards wiggington is in a very poor state of repair for some 200 to 300 meters.
Road surface is appalling, needs planing & resurfacing, surface "dressing" is not suitable. I reported this to Bucks County Council many years ago, pre-pandemic, to be told they were aware but currently short of funds. NOTHING has been done in the intervening years. Also, it seems ALL the drains from same jn for over half a mile are totally blocked with grit & general detritus.

Road surface outside Hungry Olive Pub

Re Report Reference Number 7054025 On 11th February 2025 I received an email from Buckinghamshire Highways regarding the road surface at the above location informing me that a job had already been raised for this issue and the work should be COMPLETED in 6 to 8 weeks. I have just had to spend 100 on a new tyre because of this appalling road surface! I would very much appreciate it if someone could let me know when or indeed if this job has a START date!
